Young player verbally abuses official with profanity-filled attack following minor league game
We'd like to issue a warning regarding the video you're about to see: this clip is laden with profanity and mature references. While the subtitles are censored, the audio is uncensored, so proceed at your own discretion.
It's not clear where or when this incident had taken place, but the video, posted to Reddit by u/GClubGlasses, shows a young player at the door to the tunnel, which leads to the locker room. By all appearances, a game had just ended when the young player got into a verbal altercation with an official, telling the referee he's going to defecate in their car. It only escalated from there.
Good lord young man watch your mouth, these poor refs!. A poop in his car 😳

This is why there is a shortage of minor league officials across the country. The abuse that they're forced to endure is excessive and I think anyone who's been around the game for a long time will know exactly how bad it can get. Incidents like this one have become far too common.
